Changing The Course Of Your Life. Is It Possible?

Have I ever wished that I could rewrite some of my experiences?

Sure I have. But I don’t have a time machine and it’s a good thing because I’d be in that thing more than living in the present moment. Changing the course of your life is still possible, even without the machine.

Last night my husband and I watched a romance time travel movie, “Needle in a Timestack”. For me it prompted my point of view on “what-if” scenarios on time travel, to really seeing and supporting the people in my life, and the ethics of interfering with the past. The imagined possibilities and their imagined outcomes kept me busy for quite a bit.

One of the lead characters in the movie, temporarily went back in time and behaved differently towards his friend and, as a result, beneficially altered the course of everyone’s lives, including his own life eventually. He was able to respect, love, and support his friend during his visit to the past, and the life experiences of many, not only his friend, were changed for the better.

He really saw his friend, and that was the catalyst. I felt that because I know what it feels like to be seen and to not be seen, by those I love.

Regarding going back to change the course of our life? The good news is that we don’t need a time machine to do that.

Why You Want to Learn from Life Experiences through Journaling

You may find yourself wondering what you can do to feel a deeper connection to yourself, others, the universe, and higher energy. Or, that a deeper connection is showing up as a simple inquiry you have around life challenges. I’m beginning a series of posts around the benefits of creating a morning awakening practice, such […]

Within Your Life Muck, Transformation Awaits

Do you ever feel that you have unpleasant experiences in your life that are asking you to look at them? But you can’t be bothered because you avoid feeling unpleasant. You’re aiming for awesome, even if you have to force it.

However, there’s a reason you’re prompted to look because, at some point, it will serve you well. Until you take a look and work through the troubling part of your life, you will continue to feel somewhere in the range of blah to awful. It’s understandable that you don’t want to feel these kinds of feelings. It’s so much easier to pretend there’s nothing to look at.

You’ve probably experienced that it’s the messy and darker areas of life that hold the greatest gifts. They’re hiding in our muck. It’s a little bit of a treasure hunt to uncover them.

If you’re feeling that you’re standing smack in your own muck, that’s great news! You’re being asked to take action and grow. Things will get better.

You don’t like your muck? I don’t especially like mine either! But, stay with me here…

Winter Nesting Habits And My Fears

What happens when we hold back for fear of failure? I share how I was holding back out of my fears and insecurities. There’s relaxing for our own good versus using our relaxation time to avoid standing in our own power. We can experience nesting and moving forward and challenge ourselves.

5 Things I’m Doing For Myself

My short list of helpful suggestions for how I maintain positivity and inspiration. Our emotions are influenced by our habits. Just by bringing in more positive habits I can affect my mood. When I feel better I’m creating more positive experiences. Life becomes more enjoyable.

It’s a Good Time in Our World NOW

Speak up and stand for what you believe in. Peace will only come about through those who care enough to embody it. But it takes action. Consciousness, heart, kind words, our best intentions.

We Contribute One Thought at a Time

We all make a difference in the world by how we are being. No matter how ordinary we may feel we have extraordinary power to contribute. Our thoughts, feelings, choice of words, and actions all have an effect on the collective consciousness. It’s possible to create and contribute more love in the world. How do you contribute? One beautiful thought at a time.

When It’s Time To Stop Trying So Hard

Stop trying so hard. Life is best when you let go and enjoy yourself. Your life experiences are created by how you are feeling. Perfection doesn’t really exist so it’s best to stop pursuing it. Have more fun and life will be more fun.

Authenticity Challenges and Heals Us

If I’m to feel delighted in my life then it’s time to be myself. Learning to step up to do my inner work stretches me in exciting ways. It’s also exciting and new. I choose to stand in my power, be myself unapologetically. Yes, to work on myself but also to love myself and to grow.

What Relationships Can Do For Us

If you want to move your personal and spiritual growth forward in a faster and more direct way, observe. Observe your relationships because they are the teaching ground for growth. Every single relationship in our life matters. It’s an exercise in exploring what’s showing up. Sometimes there’s pain, other times joy. But it’s always an opportunity for learning from your own experiences. The most direct and best kind of learning there is.

The Thing that Scares the Baloney Out of Me

We’re all here to grow and evolve our soul. For me, I can stand still or choose to move forward. Procrastination is just another excuse for stalling out of fear of being imperfect. When I stretch myself to jump and just take the plunge I’m always happier for it.

Failure?

It’s early afternoon and I’m still in my pajamas. I can’t stop sighing while I look out my window at the season’s last (let’s hope) snowstorm. My repeated sighs have nothing to do with the thought of shoveling and everything to do with a personal challenge…

Museum of Inspiration and Humanity

For a while now I’ve been wanting to offer people a positive way of honoring humanity and inspiring. I thought about creating a Museum, perhaps an online version. A museum unlike any other that I’ve been to. It won’t tell the stories of the world’s greatest atrocities but instead exhibit stories of love, generosity, and […]

Stepping Up To Public Speaking

When I began looking into what my purposeful work might be, my intuitive guidance suggested I speak to small groups. What?! This to me was a huge stretch. They never steer me wrong so I did. I started to speak to meetups and I joined a Toastmaster’s group for practice. Everyone’s advice and pep talks around this fear are pretty much worthless. P.S. you are not helping by telling me how confident you are as a public speaker. Just sayin’. However, when I look at why I have this fear then I can work on limiting self-beliefs and start to kick them to the curb. In the meantime, imaging the audience naked just does not work. Nor does winging it.

No News Is Good News

Human beings like things to be easy but expect big beneficial change to be difficult. That’s we get stuck in the same old paradigm of looking to political leaders to fix things. But how’s that working out for humanity? The news aggravates and accentuates humanity’s supposed divisiveness. It isn’t helping to be that kind of informed.

For most, it’s easier to watch the news and feel disgruntled rather than creating beneficial experiences. But sitting, watching, discussing, and bitching does nothing beneficial. It just contributes more doom and gloom. And, doom and gloom isn’t a great recipe to inspire positive action. It’s a motivator for more doom and gloom.

A better motivator is realizing one’s own unique and individual personal power. It may not come with a political institution attached to it but it’s powerful nevertheless. True beneficial change happens when each of us steps us to act in peace, practice compassion, tolerance, and patience to collaborate and cooperate.
